In better news, MY BOOK BLOGGING SOULMATE, Shaina of Shaina Reads is coming to stay with me today!!! There will be much cider and bookstore. And, I don't know if she knew I was serious when I suggested it, but we're going to do a vlog together! So I though it would be fun if we did an Ask Us Anything. Submit whatever kind of burning questions you have for me or for her or for both of us below! We'll be filming late at night (I assume, I totally don't have an hour-for-hour Shaintinerary). Maybe we'll be tipsy. It will be a blast.
Now on to the books!
This week I read:
- The Kiss by Kathryn Harrison - This memoir was recommended (I think) on Literary Disco. I think the writing was praised. And it was definitely well written. But it was still a story about an incestuous romance between a daughter and her father. It was a tough subject, and I was a little let down by the second half of the book.
Currently Reading:
I'm probably halfway through the graphic novel Trees, Vol. I by Warren Ellis right now and I'm really digging it. It's about these aliens that come to Earth, but they don't recognize that anything here is sentient. They are just these enormous towering things referred to as trees that plant down in cities. And they just sit there quietly. Until they start oozing stuff. I have no idea what's going on, but could there be a more Julianne plot? I think not.
